Video: Goma Training Center

It is impossible for us to expand without a serious delegation of responsibilities. This is why the leadership-training program is important. We are reproducing ourselves. Everything from project management, administration, research, curriculum development and translation will essentially be delegated to Congolese leaders. We have now picked up 3 unofficial part-time Congolese staff and intend to employ more in God's time. We are writing professional contracts for these people to join the official GOF-C team. Others are doing work on a volunteer basis.
The GTC is a multipurpose facility where leaders can receive intensive training on how to develop their community. It aims to be the epicenter for 24/7 prayer, evangelism through holistic outreach, discipleship, community development and justice for demobilized child soldiers. We are launching two more Training Centers, one in Masisi and another in Rutshuru. These are the most volatile territories and will serve very different populations than in Goma. We plan to keep the same model but tailor it to fit the needs of those particular communities.
